Elite cross-country skiers from around the world head to the Davos Nordic race every year. You also can ski on the FIS race tracks in the Flüela Valley, where the world’s best cross country skiers compete for World Cup points. Or come and explore the romantic tributary valleys on your cross-country skis. You still want more? Then give the night-time cross-country ski tracks a go. Due to the altitude and guaranteed snow from October to April, more and more
Cross-country tracks in figures
cross-country skiers come to Davos Klosters every year. The plateau with its unique tributary valleys offers an extensive and diverse terrain both for top athletes and weekend warriors.
Professional athletes are formed with us
The short distances, the many sunshine hours and the option of adding the occasional indoor training session in the weights room or on the roller ski treadmill at the new Cross-Country Ski Centre make Davos Klosters the ideal training camp for professional athletes. Davos Klosters offers by far the best snow-farmed tracks and tried and tested World Cup runs.

DARIO COLOGNA: MY PERFECT DAY
I experience my perfect day in Davos Klosters after every snowy night on my cross-country skiing trails at home. Then, when the trees are covered in snow and the track into the Dischma Valley is freshly groomed. Pure goose bumps and the best prerequisite for my perfect day.
Sun in the Dischma Valley
In winter, cross-country skiing naturally takes centre stage for me practically every day. Setting off early and going skiing in the fresh snow of a
prepared track is simply heaven! Ideally under a cloudless sky. I really like the track in the Dischma Valley – it’s one of the first places the sun reaches in the morning. It goes pretty high up, but when the snow sparkles in the sunlight, it’s the perfect combination of training and nature adventure. Back home, I take a rest. Since I have a bit of a sweet tooth, I like to go to Kaffee Klatsch Davos or Klosters in the afternoon. It’s really cosy there, and their coffee and cakes are extremely tasty.
DISCHMA UPHILL
The “classic” among the classic trails
Very popular among classic runners: the Dischma Valley Uphill. The cross-country skiing experience along the quiet Dischma stream, into the picturesque Dischma Valley, where challenging ascents, rapid descents and a fairy-tale landscape meet each other.
If you don’t want to do the descent, you can enjoy a coffee at the Restaurant Teufi, wait for the bus and take it back to Davos. Also, during this trip, the splendour of the snow-covered valley can be admired.
Distance, elevation gain (one way):
5.7 km / 158 meters of climb
Opening hours: approx. mid-December to end of March*
Insider suggestion: Coffee break in the Teufi Restaurant
* Subject to change (depending on snow situation)
WEB
GARFIUNER ROLLER COASTER
The local tip
You want to escape the daily grind? Then off to the Garfiuner Roller Coaster! Because what helps better than a cross-country skiing round through snow-covered forests, along the idyllic Landquart (brook), up to the Pardenner bridge, where a wonderful view into the valley opens up. A dream.
Back the trail leads on the other side of the valley, with a view of Gotschna. Again, beautiful passages await you through the Klosters forests, which lead to a broad grin on your face until you arrive in Klosters.
Distance, elevation gain (one way): 16 km / 187 meters of climb
Opening hours: approx. mid-December to end of March*
Insider suggestion:
Enjoy an après Nordic drink and a homemade cake on the sun terrace at Alp Garfiun
* Subject to change (depending on snow situation)
WOLFGANG-TRAIL
Distance, elevation gain (one way):
6 km / 148 meters of climb
Opening hours: approx. beginning of December to beginning of April*
Insider suggestion:
Soak up the sun on the terrace of the cross-country skiing Hotel Kessler’s Kulm
* Subject to change (depending on snow situation)
Pass climbing with cross country skis
Who can claim to have climbed a pass with cross-country skis?
In Davos Klosters this is possible: namely on the Wolfgang pass. The way there includes some smaller climbs, idyllic forest sections and tricky descents. Important: Be sure to take a break for a drink at the end of the first forest section – you can’t miss the view of Lake Davos.
Arrived on the Wolfgang pass follows a round trip through the open, snow-covered winter landscape with a view in the direction of Klosters.
HERZLOIPE DAVOS
Davos cozy loop
Especially popular with beginners or leisurely cross-country skiers is the “Herzloipe” in Davos. The short loop is perfect for starting cross-country skiing, especially due to its location, directly in the village, and the few meters in altitude.
Did you know that this trail is one of the official Swiss Heart trails? Means that even people with heart disease can feel safe on this trail. Because the loop is not only short & flat, but also equipped with two defibrillators.
By the way: there is also a Herzloipe in Klosters.
Distance, elevation gain (one way):
2.3 km / 9 meters of climb
Opening hours: approx. beginning of December to beginning of April*
Insider suggestion: Take a break in the cross country center Dario Cologna
* Subject to change (depending on snow situation)
WEB
Have you trained enough or do you need a break?
Then off to Après Nordic at the Dario Cologna Cross-Country Centre or Alp Garfiun Klosters. Where young and old meet for a fine cross-country drink.
But what is Après Nordic?

Cosy lounge to linger in
Good atmosphere in all weathers
Wonderful view of the enchanting mountains
A meeting place for all cross-country skiers
Après Nordic means enjoying together in the most beautiful mountain region of the Alps.

LOIPEN-TIPP DAVOS Weltcup-Strecke Davos Nordic (9 km / schwer)
Von Dario Cologna, vierfacher Olympiasieger und vierfacher Gesamtweltcupsieger
Die Strecke liegt direkt vor meiner Haustür und bietet viel Abwechslung: Es gibt mehrere kurze, aber steile Anstiege und dazwischen immer wieder kurze Flächen. Das macht die Loipe für Profis, aber auch gute Hobbylangläufer, spannend. Dank Snowfarming können wir bereits ab Ende Oktober mit dem Training auf der Loipe loslegen.
The trail is right outside my front door and offers a lot of variety: There are several short but steep climbs and in between always short flat areas. This makes the cross-country ski run exciting for professionals as well as for ambitious hobby cross-country skaters. Thanks to Snowfarming we already train on this track as of end of October.

Die Loipen auf den Klosterser Alpen Garfiun, Pardenn und Novai sind nicht nur unter Einheimischen ein Geheimtipp. Sie bieten eine landschaftliche Vielfalt wie kaum eine andere Loipe. Über Brücken, neben dem Fluss entlang und durch wunderschöne verschneite glitzernde Wälder lohnt sich der Aufstieg bis zu den Alpen auf jeden Fall. Auf dem Rückweg ist bei der Abfahrt bei Schindelboden Vorsicht geboten.
Cross country skiing circuit with a great view
The cross-country trails on the alps Garfiun, Pardenn and Novai are an insider tip not only among locals. They offer a scenic variety like hardly any other cross-country ski trail. Over bridges, along the river and through beautiful snowy glittering forests, the climb up to the alps of Klosters is definitely worth it. On the way back, caution is advised on the descent at Schindelboden.

SNOW FARMING
We have been covering a mound of snow with sawdust every spring since 2008. This ensures that 70-80% of the snow remains intact throughout the summer. This snow is then used in autumn to prepare a 4 km cross-country ski track to guarantee an early season start at the end of October, irrespective of autumn temperatures and weather.
Snow farming times
From the end of October until the trails are prepared with natural snow (approx. beginning of December), snowfarming is practiced in the Flüela Valley. During this time a day ticket costs CHF 10.00 for adults and CHF 5.00 for children (U16). The tickets are available directly on site or online at:
